I am not big the processed fake meat stuff, but I do try and make the veggies my main course during a meal and have meat as a side dish.

I don't think I could ever be vegan, I enjoy cheese too much...that and so many things are made with eggs it would be difficult to cut out those foods. I do remember when I was a vegetarian it was sometimes hard to find processed foods with out some sort of animal by-product contained in them....I remember being very disappointed that I couldn't eat Oreos because they contained Lard. lol.
